Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Operating System: RedHat Linux 7.1
PHP Version: 4.1.1
New Comment:
I am also having problems with the include() function. I also agree
that relative includes should always be relative to the current script.

I am using version 4.3.2, and I have this problem. I
also agree that the php include behavior hurts
modularity. I can't reuse classes w/o modifying the
code to handle the new parent-script path.
Please tell me there's a fix for this.

I'm sure I can get around this, but things really would be nice if this
worked. Situation is a very modular web site, with many files to be
included, some class definitions, and some other fuctions. Off of the
root /, there is /classes and /plugins . A file in /plugins is
included from a file in /, and depends on a file in /classes. In other
words:
/main.php includes /plugin/driver.php
/plugin/driver.php includes /classes/Item.php
But, within /plugin/driver.php, the statement
require_once "../classes/Item.php" fails.

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately your version of PHP is too old -- the problem
might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP
version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php
If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.

I was happy for awhile, but eventually I noticed a problem with *some*
relative paths (in version 4.1.1).
Say, there is the main script 'test.php' and two other files, 'a.inc'
and 'b.inc' (in subdirs):
File './test.php':
<?php
require_once( 'include/a/a.inc' );
?>
File './include/a/a.inc':
<?php
require_once( '../b.inc' );
echo 'a.inc ';
?>
File './include/b.inc':
<?php
echo 'b.inc ';
?>
Running 'test.php' fails with:
Fatal error: Failed opening required '../b.inc'
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php')
in /home/geeba/include/a/a.inc on line 2
This isn't intended, is it?
Thank you!

include() (and the other functions in its family) will now also look in
the current executing file's directory, so this issue should be
resolved.
